Lay With The Devil's

The Long Night

Jaka opens the door to Sarah's apartment. Appearance's messy. They brought two pizza boxes for dinner.

"I'm sorry for making you lie this afternoon...",

"That's it... I want to take a shower. You better be too..."

After putting the pizza box in front of the TV, they went into their respective rooms.

Sarah took off her dress. Fortunately the expensive dress was not torn because Sarah was sitting carelessly. But then his eyes were fixed on the mirror that was reflecting on him. He saw a blue bruise on his arm. He touched it, and the pain spread throughout his body. Sarah herself could not remember when she got it.

Sarah came out of the room in a loose shirt and knee-length brown leggings. He smelled Jaka's intoxicating aftershape. It was only fitting that the person was already sitting in front of the TV and was casually devouring the pizza.

"Eat while warm" explained Jaka who realized the presence of Sarah beside him.

"Thank you.", replied Sarah briefly. He then sat on the floor right in front of the TV table. Sarah took a slice of pizza.

"Sit on top of...",

"Ah, he. here is more comfortable... ", sarah refused to look at Jaka. He focused on the TV show in front of him.

Honestly, his eyes could not focus on the TV, he glanced at Jaka who took another slice of pizza. It was then that he saw Jaka's injured hand.

"Do we need to check?",

"What's? this?", Jaka thrust his hand "No need. Tomorrow too will be healed...",

"Dare to bet, tonight you will have a high fever.", Sarah finished the pizza in her hand and got up to pick up the P3K box.

Sarah grabs Jaka's hand and feeds the pizza into her mouth. Sarah wiped it with a wet tissue. He carefully applied the red medicine. After finishing putting the bandage, Sarah tidied up the equipment.

"Eat with your left hand, sir... Let the hand rest...",

"thank you. It might be more romantic if you feed me, I'm still hungry" Jaka explained.

Sarah's cheeks are flushed.

"I'll get you a fork and a knife. Just sec...",

Feed her? Are we on a honeymoon? Oh my... This guy always does...

Sarah returned with a plate complete with a fork and knife. Unasked, Sarah took another slice of pizza and placed it on the plate. Sarah cut the pizza into small pieces and then placed it in front of Jaka.

"Please eat.", Sarah smiled briefly. He then took another piece for himself.

"Thank you" Jaka replied.

Actually Jaka just looks relaxed. Considering tonight was their first night sleeping under the same roof, Jaka was a little curious. I would love to know more about this woman. Because as he knows from the data Paul has collected, what Sarah has shown so far is just a hoax.

...

"May I ask?", asked Jaka who successfully made Sarah choke. He hurriedly opened the bottle of mineral water and gulped it down slowly.

"Are you okay?" asked Jaka, who was now sitting on the floor with Sarah on the rug.

"Yes... Sorry, of course you can ask...",

Sarah, who had preferred to stare at the TV, then grabbed the remote and turned it off.

"He's my brother..."

"You're Sarah's firstborn... Don't think I'm that stupid dong",

"Yes, then what... Can I not consider him a sister?",

"Then? Why stay with her, knowing that her mes*m husband always teases you?",

"I'm astrophobia remember? I've tried to stay alone and ended up not well... When I was taken to the hospital for a panic attack, she was the nurse who took care of me. I had just started working at a company before AntiQ Jaya. He invited me to live in his apartment, at that time he was married and had no children. Her husband works out of town and she is often alone. It was only after I stayed for a year there that her husband moved to his hometown. And at that moment, he asked me to acknowledge myself as his sister. Kak andini does have a sister, but her husband never met in person. Her husband started teasing me after three years of their marriage, and Andini's sister wasn't pregnant yet. I'd love to move from there, but I don't want to die alone in a boarding room. Moreover, there are two sisters who should I...",

Jaka finally understood. But he still has a lot of questions on his face.

"How come, you were at the Sanjaya family event? It was a family event, and only guests with invitations could enter.", Jaka began.

"Either... I accepted the invitation. And think it would be very disrespectful to reject it... At first I thought that because I was working in AntiQ Jaya I would always accept the invitation. But in fact, not all employees get it. Not even anyone but me. I don't know. I swear, I don't think that's weird about that...",

Jaka was not too satisfied with Sarah's answer.

"How did you first become Indra's victim?",

Sarah closed her eyes.

"I think it's just one of my bad luck... I've only been working in AntiQ Jaya for a few months and met Margo. I caught him going into Mr. Alfandi's room and fiddling with the contents. I just found out that Margo is one of the ITs in AntiQ Jaya... A few weeks later he came and threatened me to spread a video that I do not know. He made an sacrilegious video with my face there. For God's sake I never did... He's ready to send it to my brothers...",

Sarah took a sip of her water.

"Report to anyone and the video is spread out..",

"Ehm. Yeah, we've seen it", though",

Sarah's face flushed.

"Are you sure it wasn't you? That thing stuck in my mind. It looks so real to me...",

Sarah looked at Jaka's face in disbelief. His face is warming up. Exasperatedly Sarah stood up and left Jaka who called out to her. Sarah ignored.

Justjust wonderful... The only person he believed in was not trusting him right now.

Sarah wiped her tears. He opened the balcony door of his room. Darkened. There are only street lights. He went back in and got into his comfortable bed. He covered the blanket all over his body.

Why it hurts so much... What if people don't believe that story? It doesn't matter if it's someone else I don't care... He doesn't trust me... Though. I only hope...
